I was at a Board meeting and we were talking about cultural competency. In response to a discussion about how poorly our program responds to Non-English consumers, one of the Promotoras who attended your training chimed in about how addressing language/interpretation only would not remedy the situation. Having worked with this woman for the past two years, I feel confident that her comments were a direct result of your training influence. Congratulations!

Because I live on a reservation, in our work places and most of the employers are all Natives, we seem to assume we all have the same values, beliefs, and views. But we are diverse and think our native people need to realize within our own race we are a very diverse people. I will take this back and begin discussions with my co-workers, my church of how we can be more inclusive. I will also evaluate my own self first. Thank you. I enjoyed this topic very much. I see where I can be more open-minded.

We are most thankful that you provided the Cultural Competency Training for us. What you presented and how you presented the information made sense and made me realize that I have not been heading in the right direction when working with staff, new clients and/or populations. I look forward to working with you in the future. Thank you.

Thank you for all you do to bring the message of cultural competency to those who need it -- and to keep reminding those of us on the path that it is worth the struggle.

This was my first cultural competency training of any kind and I'm glad I held out for the best! I gleaned at several excellent ideas applicable to my work that I have already shared with my staff but more importantly was the impact of the training on me personally. Very stimulating, thought provoking and I believe life changing.

This experience opened my mind to think outside of the box, that my way of thinking or doing isn’t always done the same way in other cultures.

This training helped me become aware of my own biases, no matter how big or small and how they impact my work environment.

Your presentation has brought to the forefront of my mind to be more aware of my own biases and how to work on recognizing the differences and how to react to them.

Having Dr. Reyes as our facilitator was very helpful in creating a safe place for local staff to express themselves. The impact of this retreat has brought our local and Regional staff to a different level. Thank you and look forward to working with you.
